pull, i saw someone in the back of the charlotte move, and i knew that if i fired and missed, i could end up hitting them." >> "i'm not beating myself up because i didn't shoot him, but i know after he saw me, i think the last shot he fired was the one he used on himself." and >>catherine: he and his friend and the baby were not injured. and meli stands by his decision not to pull the trigger that day. the gunman went on to kill himself - after killing two people. >> house speaker john boehner headed back to the white house today - for more fiscal cliff talks with the president. boehner is now agreeing to higher tax rates on the wealthiest americans and an automatic extension of the federal debt limit. it's the third time in eight days that the men have met to negotiate. it sounds like progress - but there's no deal yet. now, instead of $280,000, is
